Like it or not, Marlins players – and fans – will get an earful of World Cup soccer atmosphere Saturday night at Sun Life Stadium…Plastic horns will be given to the first 15,000 fans as part of a promotion to capitalize on the World Cup buzz…The horns to be given away before Florida’s game against Tampa Bay are similar to but not the same as the soccer horns, said Sean Flynn, the Marlins’ vice president for marketing…”They’re not as buzzing as vuvuzelas, but they’re loud.”

OK, so they aren’t real vuvuzelas. But that is fitting since that don’t really have a baseball team in Miami.

Sooooooooo, the Marlins have heard the thousands of complaints about these things, how they are ruining a world wide tourney and with this information they think it is a good idea to give them away? Brilliant!

About time baseball has some noise in the stadium. I go to the Chicago Fire games (MLS), I heard a few vuvuzelas and crowd cheering with the drums and horns. Then, I go to a baseball game (Rays vs.White Sox) in April it is too quiet until someone makes an outstanding play. Also, in winterball in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, they are alot of crowd noise including vuvuzelas, drums, cymbals and horns. I don't mind the vuvuzelas, ti does not bother me because I got used to it by going to soccer games.
